Rust-Oleum has a product it's calling Universal - with good reason. It's a spray paint that works on just about any item, inside or outside the home, including things made of plastic, metal, wicker and glass - in most cases without a primer. Colors include eight glossies, two satins (black, white), a flat black, silver and gold metallics and three hammered hues (black, brown, silver).

Find it at Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace and other stores, at prices ranging from $6 to $9 a can, depending on promotion. And get going:
